Thinking back on the past 20 years, selling Springfield Mo real estate and Springfield Mo homes has made some major changes. Researching homes in MLS books that were already obsolete when they finally arrived. Touring homes to see what came on the market in the past week. Disclosures were introduced, agents started working as buyer's agents, cell phones replaced the pagers. Contracts were presented by both agents.
Today's technology allows a home to be marketed, seen by thousands of realtors, even sold within hours after it is marketed. The internet allows the consumer to be alerted the moment a new listing appears, along with photos and virtual tours.
Consumers value the expertise realtors offer more today than ever before. Realtors provide a broader range of services for the consumer and manage more of the transaction. With the growing number of homes on the market, competition is tough. Springfield Homes must be priced to be the best home on the market for the least amount of money.
If you are thinking of buying or selling a Springfield Missouri home in today's market, trying to save commission may be a mistake. Your home is your greatest asset. Interview your agent. Not every agent offers the services you require. Even if the agent charges more than a discount broker, their services may save you time in marketing, reducing the cost of maintaining the home, and netting more to you in the long run.
Professional, full service realtors only get paid when they complete their job.
